With the release of his full length album Screaming Light, Nathan Thomson spins a new twist on a classic genre. The indie folk album is laced with lush instrumentation, melody, and percussion, while utilizing vocal as an instrument itself. The songs are beautifully written and each word seems to spring truth from life experience. The album is progressive, current, and most importantly never loses touch with the emotional platform great songs are built from.

Although the album can get diverse, there are strong themes throughout that seem to string things together well.

"This album is the consequence of every experience I’ve ever had, musical or not. It contains pieces of every place I’ve ever lived, every relationship I’ve broken, or saved, to then break later. It contains my poverty as well as my great fortune. I hope that if people find it to be anything, they find it to be beautiful, and they find it to be true." explains Nathan.

The first single "Redefine Beautiful", speaks volumes for the record itself. The song, almost like a peaceful lullaby, tells a story most can relate to.

"Redefine Beautiful is about knowing someone, or experiencing something that transforms your beliefs. You may have some idea about truth, love, or beauty, but then you have an experience that proves how little you actually knew before," says the songwriter of his single.

Nathan has been a writer of sorts his whole life, documenting his experiences in poetry, stories, and spoken word. It wasn’t until relocating to Detroit in 2013 that those experiences started becoming the songs that make up the “Screaming Light” album.

For Nathan, music isn’t a hobby or job; it runs deeper than that, which is why his songs connect to a deeper place amongst his listeners. As he put it, “Music for me is very basic in terms of human need. It’s like breathing, and I’d be a fool not to breathe.” [+]
